Problem with gas giant texture

[WolfyDoo]

Dear people,

The tutorial @Poodmund suggest me to watch really helped but now I got another problem. I made a texture for the gas giant but there is something I'm missing. It's hard to explain so I'll just show you:

The texture has this line. I mean, it doesn't blend well. I don't know how to explain it but I'm guessing you can see it for yourself. Hopefully somebody can help me with this!

Thanks for taking a look

Somebody reading this? I have waited for a long time...

Can you please post your texture file? It looks like the edges of your texture don't line up which cuases a seam on the planet

Unfortunately, because I waited months for someone to reply, I don't have the file anymore. But I'm working on my own system and as soon as I have made a texture again, I will make sure to post it here!

That's great. Good luck with your system!

A way to prevent this is to create your textures through PQS mods with kopernicus and then edit them in game with Kittopia.  @The White Guardian has a guide for how to do this

I disagree, gas giant textures cannot be created from PQS.

Here's what I would do:

1 open the texture in Photoshop or GIMP

2 With the rectangular selection tool, grab the left half of the image, copy it to the clipboard then press delete, and paste the copied half into a new layer.

3. Swap the positions of the left and right halves, then merge the layers down.

4. The texture issue should be obvious now. At this point you can edit it out manually.

I know you can't make gas planets from PQS I meant the other textures

Thank you both a lot :). I will try it out @The White Guardian!

I just tried to do the steps @The White Guardian told me but it still looks like this (don't look at the gradient xD): https://postimg.org/image/wo4sk2z1f/

I definitely did step 1 and 2 but I don't really know how to do/what you mean (with) step 3 in GIMP. Here is my GIMP texture file: https://uploadfiles.io/cf674

I hope you can help me with this cause I have been trying since december.

Never mind! I finally fixed it! Thank you so much. Thanks sooo much!

Or you can just offset (filter>other>offset) the image and fix the seam with a mixture of clone tool/blur tool. Much easier than splitting an image.

Thank you as well @Galileo!

I think my planet pack update will be released somewhere in April, but it might be in June actually because I'm really busy with exams lately.

No problem! This is an issue I come across ALL the time because I edit a lot of my textures by hand and a constantly create seams. It's a bit tedious but it's very necessary to know how to fix the issue if you want to be efficient.

Thanks again. I'll try your method out for my next planet or gas giant I create but for now I'm happy how Irdun (my gas giant - spoil spoil) looks. haha
